I want to go for pre-med so im currently applying for a medical camp this summer at Michigan university.
Don’t fashion all of high school around getting into a particular school. It can ruin high school and it may not happen even if you do “everything right”. Just dedicate yourself to being as excellent as you can be and involve yourself in the activities you find meaningful. the rest will happen as a result not the other way around!
